ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 I Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has decreased mobility about passive range-of-motion exercises. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Repeating movements 3-5 times maintains mobility safely. Pain risks injury, quick moves lack control, and once daily is insufficient—multiple sessions are typical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has severe rheumatoid arthritis in her hands and is unable to feed herself. For which of the following health care team members should the nurse request a referral from the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Occupational therapists help with ADLs like feeding, offering adaptive tools for rheumatoid arthritis. Social workers address psychosocial needs, PAs manage medical care, and PTs focus on mobility.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is anxious about being admitted to a health care facility for the first time. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Discussing expectations reduces anxiety by providing control and information. Normalizing fear lacks support, reassurance dismisses feelings, and questioning may pressure the client.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is immobile. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Trochanter rolls prevent hip rotation, maintaining alignment in immobile clients. Arms should be supported comfortably, crossing ankles risks circulation issues, and logrolling every 4 hr is unnecessary unless spinal injury is suspected—2-hour repositioning is standard.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is teaching a client who has diabetes mellitus about self-administration of insulin using a prefilled, multidose pen. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Safe-needle devices prevent needlestick injuries. Pinching skin may be needed, recapping risks injury, and removing the needle before disposal increases risk—dispose intact.
